Coconut Pecan Nanaimo Bars

These Coconut Pecan Nanaimo Bars are the richest, creamiest, most SINFUL dessert ever — you are going to LOVE them. But first, an introduction! Hello, everyone! I’m Kelsey, Echo’s daughter. I did a guest post a while back, but now I am happy to inform you that I will be posting regularly starting today! Make sure to check back every Sunday for the BEST dessert recipes on the internet!

Nanaimo Bars are a traditional, no-bake, Canadian recipe. They were created in a small cafe in Nanaimo, British Columbia. I got this recipe from my friend, Shannon, who was also my roommate in college. She made these for me and our other roommates one weekend and our whole apartment was hooked! The bottom layer is like a thick, no bake cookie with coconut and pecan pieces, the middle layer is a creamy custard filling, and the top is a smooth chocolate ganache. If we saw her come home from the grocery store with the ingredients for these bars, our mouths would immediately start watering. She won over not only our hearts, but the hearts of many of our friends and neighbors — she was practically famous for them, and now you can be too!
